Two months after their first Decibel release Spaghetti Trip, aka Federico Romanzi and Mr. Dendo, released their second EP. This EP contains 6 tracks, 4 collaborations and 2 solo productions.

As new lento albums releases have become scarce over the last couple of years, here comes a new collaboration which brings the much needed light at the end of the tunnel. Davide Rodia, aka Mr. Dendo, and Federico Romanzi are the producers behind the project Spaghetti Trip which, according to their Facebook, was conceived in concept in 2004. Since then, they have collaborated extensively with Gigi D’Agostino and released several tracks on his albums. Nine years later, Federico and Davide have moved on to produce a number of solo tracks under their own names, and together as Spaghetti Trip. Along with Luca Francini, aka LuHa MsM, they are also producing a weekly shortcast...
